Yet, over the past few years, there has been growing discourse on the intersection of these two subjects within both academic and popular circles. In Race and the Animated Bodyscape: Constructing and Ascribing a Racialized Asian Identity in "Avatar" and "Korra," author Francis M. Agnoli introduces and illustrates the concept of the animated bodyscape, looking specifically at the US television series Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korra. Rather than consider animated figures as unified wholes, Agnoli views them as complexes of signs, made up of visual, aural, and narrative components that complement, contradict, and otherwise interact with each other in the creation of meaning. Every one of these components matters, as they are each the result of a series of creative decisions made by various personnel across different production processes. This volume (re)constructs production narratives for Avatar and Korra using original and preexisting interviews with cast and crew members as well as behind-the-scenes material. Each chapter addresses how different types of components were generated, tracing their development from preliminary research to final animation. In doing so, this project identifies the interlocking sets of production communities behind the making of animation and thus behind the making of racialized identities. Due to its illusory and constructed nature, animation affords untapped opportunities to approach the topic of race in media, looking beyond the role of the actor and taking into account the various factors and processes behind the production of racialized performances. The analysis of race and animation calls for a holistic approach, one that treats both the visual and the aural as intimately connected. This volume offers a blueprint for how to approach the analysis of race and animation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Index. $t Introduction -- $t Chapter One: The visual components of the animated bodyscape -- $t Chapter Two: The aural components of the animated bodyscape -- $t Chapter Three: The narrative components of the animated bodyscape -- $t Chapter Four: Visual worldbuilding and the animated bodyscape -- $t Chapter Five: Aural worldbuilding and the animated bodyscape -- $t Conclusion -- $t Notes -- t Bibliography -- $t Other sources -- $t Index. 630 00 $a Avatar, the last airbender (Television program) 630 00 $a Legend of Korra (Television program) 630 07 $a Avatar, the last airbender (Television program) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01776703 630 07 $a Legend of Korra (Television program) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01937964 650 0 $a Animation (Cinematography) 650 0 $a Race on television. 650 0 $a Asian Americans on television. 650 0 $a Animated television programs. 650 0 $a Fantasy television programs. 650 0 $a Human figure in art. 650 7 $a Animated television programs $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809626 650 7 $a Animation (Cinematography) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00809628 650 7 $a Asian Americans on television $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818680 650 7 $a Fantasy television programs $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920918 650 7 $a Human figure in art $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896063 650 7 $a Race on television $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01923111 776 08 $i Online version: $a Agnoli, Francis M. $t Race and the animated bodyscape $d Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, 2023 $z 9781496845108 $w (DLC) 2022051873 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011756.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B4F84969E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
